Live talk

Learn about some of the cutting-edge simulations that revealed new insight into Pluto and Charon's initial collisions, as well as how that impact may have big implications for the system's geological evolution, including how we get to the surfaces that were imaged by New Horizons in 2015.

This show will dazzle you with the beauty of the cosmos!

Join us for an introduction to the night sky, the observable planets, the stars, and constellations.

For millennia, humans have wondered whether life exists beyond Earth. Over the last half-century or so, these musings have evolved from fantasy and speculation into a legitimate scientific endeavor, guided largely by the Drake Equation — a formula that estimates the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy. Nadia Drake, a science reporter, will discuss the factors in the Drake Equation, how science reporters choose and construct stories, and the science media's role in communicating discoveries about the search for life beyond Earth.
